11. Introduction
Consumer Awareness is an act of making sure the buyer or
consumer is aware of the information about product, goals,
services, and consumer rights. Consumer awareness is important so
that buyer can take the right decision and make the right choice.
Consumer have the right to information, right to choose, right to
safety, right to consumer education, right to seek redressal.
In the current trend of marketing, the consumer is a lifeblood of all
it’s functioning. The market gets shrewd and sometimes the
consumer has to suffer the burnt of it. Therefore consumer
protection is an act of providing consumers with complete
information about the goals, services and their rights. Consumer
awareness is very important as they invest their time and money in
marketing activities and they have a right to transparent
information
12. Misleading advertisement, unsafe products, overcharging and
unweighing and other malpractices are performed by unscrupulous
businessmen. Consumer awareness is an act of saving consumers
from such delinquencies.
“Jago Grahak Jago” (Wake up, customers!) is a consumer
awareness program launched by the department of food under the
government of India. This program will help Indian consumers to
know about their consumer rights and also about duties as
consumer.
13. Need of Making Consumer
Aware
It has been observed very after that a consumer does not
get right goods and services. He is charged a very high
price or adulterated or low quality goods are sold to him.
Therefore it is necessary to make him aware. Following
facts classify the need of making consumer aware.
•To achieve maximum satisfaction: the income of every
individual is limited. He wants to buy maximum goods
and services with his income. He gets full satisfaction
only by this limited adjustment. Therefore it is necessary
that he should not be cheated in any way. Far this he
should be made aware.
14. •Protection against exploitation: Producers and sellers
exploit the consumers in many ways as underweighting,
taking more price than the market price, selling duplicate
goods etc. Large companies through their advertisement
also mislead the consumers. Consumer awareness
shields them from the exploitation by producers and
sellers.
•Control over consumption of harmful goods: There are
several such goods available in market which cause harm
to some consumers. For example we can take goods like
cigarette, tobacco, liquor, etc. The consumer education
and awareness motivate people not to purchase such
goods which are very harmful for them
15. •Motivation for saving: The awareness controls people
from wastage of money and extravagancy and inspire them
to take right decision. Such consumers are not attracted by
sale, free gifts attractive packing etc., due to which people
can use their income in a right way and can save money.
•Knowledge regarding solution of problems: The
consumers are cheated due to illiteracy innocence and lack
of information. Therefore it becomes necessary that the
information about their rights should be provided to them
so that they cannot be cheated by producers and sellers.
Through consumers awareness they are also made known
to the proceedings of laws so that they can solve their
problems.
16. Consumer Protection
Act
The consumer protection act, implemented in 1986, gives
easy fast compensation to consumer grievances. It
safeguards and encourages consumers to speak against
insufficiency and flows in goods and services. If traders and
manufacturers practice any illegal trade this act protects
their as a consumer.
This protection act covers all goods and services of all
public, private or cooperate sectors except those exempted
by the central government. The act provides a platform far
a consumer where they can file their complaint, and the
forum takes action against the concerned supplier and

he/she has encountered.
